La Jetee The main scene of the film is a child and a woman's face on Orly's esplanade. It is the leading character's obsession, who now, adult, is a prisoner of the world war three winners in Paris underground. There, he is scientifically tested to travel in the time dimension. The man goes back to the past, falls in love with an airport woman and becomes aware of his remembrances. The two protagonists arrive at the airport platform and he is sure he doesn't want to come back to the present time, but there are some "future agents" who want to force him to do it. The scene he saw when he was a child was just his death's one. The travel in time was not a new subject in 1962, but "La jetée" is a completely unconventional film as to construction. The editing links are frozen but meaningful instants to each other. The photography stillness gives a sense of temporal suspense of the story, and, at the same time, has a documentary function, like Bellour said in 1990. The picture story/comics shape of "La jetée" coincides with the theme of the film, death, as the result of the superimposition of future upon present. Direction and photography : Chris Marker. Editing: Jean Ravel. Music: Lalan e Barney Wilen. Co-production APEC and ISKRA. B&W, France, 1962. Duration: 28'.
